“…The tongue of the Khaki Campbell duck occupied the floor of the oropharyngeal cavity except for the free tip of the bottom of the bill, rostrally. It was similar to the findings of in Muscovy duck, Abdalla et al (2011) in the duck, Mohamed (2004) in quails, Abd El-Fatah et al (2000) in turkey, Koch (1973) in fish eaters birds, Mohamed (2019) in Caribbean duck and Skieresz-Szewczyk & Jackowiak (2016) in domestic duck. The tongue fills the oral cavity in ducks and geese, as Nickel et al (1977) reported.…”

“…This result was in line with that revealed by Abdalla et al (2011) in duck, Sarma and Anil (2015) in pati duck, Mohdy (1993) and Mohamed (2004) in quail and Hawk, Sridevi et al (2015) in mute swan, Mohamed R. (2019) in Caribbean duck. On the contrary, this papilla was arranged in one transverse row in Muscovy duck , in turkey (Abd El-Fatah, 2000), in chicken, duck, and pigeon (Abdalla, 1994), and in goose (Iwasaki et al, 1997), While V-shaped arrangement of papillae was observed in white-tailed eagle (Jackowiak & Godynicki, 2005) and U-shaped arrangement in the domestic pigeon (Parchami & Dehkordi, 2011). On the other hand, no caudal papillae were observed in ostrich (Jackowiak & Ludwig, 2008) and Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker (Emura et al, 2009).…”

“…This statement differs from Abd-Elmohdy and Ghattas (1995), who reported that the middle part of the ventral surface of the tongue of the duck has ventral papillae, which are formed of two different mucosal folds. The ventral aspect of the tongue of the chicken and pigeon (Abdalla, 1994) and that of the turkey (Abd El-Fatah et al, 2000) has two ventrolateral surfaces that meet together, forming a ventral border.…”

The present study aims to investigate the gross morphological structure of the tongue of the khaki Campbell duck at different postnatal ages. The ducks were from four age groups (A total of 25 ducks): day one (1), one (1) month, two (2) months, three (3) months, and four (4) months, having five ducks in each group. The tongues were collected immediately after the ethical killing of the birds for gross anatomical observations. The tongue of the Khaki Campbell duck was located on the floor of the oropharynx. In all examined ages, the tongue did not extend to the total limits of the lower beak. The elongated shaped tongue was divided into three parts, i.e., apex, body, and root. The spatula-shaped apex of the tongue was smooth dorsally and devoid of lingual papillae. On the ventral surface of the apex, there was a ﬂat, triangular, white plate of the lingual nail. The dorsal surface of the body of the tongue was divided into two symmetrical parts by a median groove, which became more prominent at the advancement of age. Large and small conical papillae were found symmetrically along both body edges. The root of the tongue was the smallest part which was located adjacent to the laryngeal prominence. Papillae were found on both sides of the root. A fold of membrane, the frenulum linguae present on the ventral aspect of the body. The length and width of the tongue increased with the advancement of age. The present study revealed the gross anatomical structure of the tongue of the Khaki Campbell duck at different postnatal ages and helped to compare the findings with other avian species.

“…The tongue occupies the proboscis portion of the oropharyngeal cavity floor without extending to the free apex of the bottom of the lower beak in A. platyrhynchos and this result is consistent with a study of Mohamed (2019). While the current study showed that the tongue of A. anser occupied the entire floor of the oropharyngeal cavity, this result was contrary to the results of other studies dealing with different species of birds, such as the study of Abd El-Fatah et al (2000) in Turkey bird and the study of Abdall et al (2011) in ducks.…”

This study is to identify the comparative morphological description of the tongue in two species of domesticated waterbirds, Mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Linnaeus,1758) and Graylag Goose Anser anser (Linnaeus,1758) (Anseriformes, Anatidae). Four adult male birds (two for each species) were collected from the Iraqi environment and used in the current study by buying them from the AL-Ghezil Market, a local market in Baghdad City. Anaesthetized, dissected, and laboratory work were conducted and visually documented. The results of the study showed that the tongue of both birds was characterized by the appearance of being a narrow-elongated organ divided into three areas represented by the apex, the lingual body, and the root. It was noted that there was a median sulcus, lingual prominence, and conical and filiform papillae of varying numbers and distribution on the dorsal surface of the tongue. While the ventral surface was free of lingual papillae, but it might contain in return a triangular squamous plate called a lingual nail or a bar-shaped structure called a lyssa in proportion to the type and nature of nutrition.
